‘Real Progress’ Made in Delivering Aid to Gaza, UN Says
UN humanitarian operations in Gaza now include 190,000 metric tons of aid with cooking gas entering for the first time since March, officials said.
- On Sunday, the United Nations confirmed cooking gas entered the Gaza Strip for the first time since March, alongside flour, frozen meat, fresh fruit, tents and medicines.
- Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher announced on Monday the UN released $11 million from CERF following a $9 million allocation last week, totaling $20 million for Gaza aid.
- With eased movement and access restrictions, United Nations and its partners pre-positioned medical and emergency supplies, assessed roads for explosive hazards, and supported displaced families preparing for winter.
- Amid a holding ceasefire, the United States, Qatar and Egypt brokered releases of Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees, while the first phase of the 20-point plan took effect on Friday.
- The UN warned that a massive funding scale-up is needed and Tom Fletcher cautioned that without fresh CERF contributions, critical aid cannot keep flowing after attacks killed more than 67,600 Palestinians since October 2023.
